Luke MagnottoLuke Magnotto is a third generation Italian American raised in the steel-mill town of Farrell, Pennsylvania. As a boy in the 1950's, he saw an old postcard of the Piazza Lionardo DiCapua in his maternal ancestral town of Bagnoli Irpino. That postcard honoring his seventeenth-century predecessor, began his quest to discover Lionardo's history.
